Usage
For ReportBlox tags, TaskDataBlox tags are used instead of SQLDataBlox tags as the data source. TaskDataBlox tags retrieve the mining tasks from the SQW control database depending on their visibility.
When you create, cancel, or delete a mining task, the list of mining tasks is modified. Therefore you must update the ReportBlox tags by using the refreshReport() JavaScript method. This method updates the table cells of an interactive report without reloading a page. To update the data of the TaskDataBlox tags, call the dataChanged() method of the TaskDataBlox tags.
You can change the style and the format of the report by using the Blox nested within the ReportBlox. For more information, see the Alphablox Documentation.
This is necessary because manually adding a FormatBlox overwrites the FormatBlox added by the TaskDataBlox since it is not possible to add two or more FormatBlox. The TaskDataBlox automatically sets a FormatBlox that tells the ReportBlox not to encode HTML because links and images are provided by the TaskDataBlox.
Nesting FormatBlox within ReportBlox
The ClusterVisualizerLinkBlox sets a FormatBlox that tells the ReportBlox not to encode HTML because links are provided by the ClusterVisualizerLinkBlox.
You can also manually add FormatBlox to ReportBlox. However, because you can add only one FormatBlox to ReportBlox, the FormatBlox that was previously added by ClusterVisualizerLinkBlox is overwritten. Therefore, you must tell ReportBlox not to encode HTML by adding the following <bloxreport:html> tag:
<bloxreport:format> <bloxreport:html member="" format=""/> ... </bloxreport:format>
Tag description
The following table shows the attribute of the <iminer:taskData> tag.
| Tag attribute | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ID | No | The unique identifier for this instance of TaskDataBlox |
| application name | No | If this attribute is set, only tasks from the given application are shown. |
| process name | No | If this attribute is set, only tasks with the given process name are shown. |
| loginPage | No | If this attribute is set and you have not yet authenticated yourself by using the miningblox login tag, you are forwarded to the specified URL that contains the Login tag. |
Example
The following examples shows how to use the TaskDataBlox tags:
<HEAD>
...
</HEAD>
<%
Object o = bloxContext.getBlox("myTasks");
if(o instanceof com.ibm.iminer.blox.TaskDataBlox) {
com.ibm.iminer.blox.TaskDataBlox taskDataBlox =
(com.ibm.iminer.blox.TaskDataBlox) o;
taskDataBlox.dataChanged();
}
%>
<BODY onload="refreshReport('myTaskReport')">
